Gina McCarthy
Gina McCarthy is a prominent American environmentalist and public servant who served as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017. Known for her strong advocacy for climate change policies, McCarthy played a key role in implementing the Clean Power Plan and other regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Following her tenure at the EPA, she continued her work in environmental policy as the White House National Climate Advisor under President Joe Biden, where she focused on advancing the administration's climate agenda. Recently, McCarthy has been in the news for her departure from the Biden administration, which coincided with the appointment of John Podesta to oversee significant climate funding initiatives, raising questions about the political motivations behind environmental spending.
